Philosophy of freedom: loving yourself is the root of everything
We have been instilled a lot of human principles and moral creeds since we were young, but many times we have overlooked one of the simplest foundations: loving ourselves. Only by loving ourselves, taking good care of ourselves, and managing ourselves, will we have the ability to do other things. Just imagine, if a person is often ill and fails to take good care of his body, then no matter what he does, he will be affected. Just as a person wears colored glasses, everything on the outside will appear to him to have the color of the glasses. Therefore, to love yourself, you must first improve your body.
This is simple to say, but many people cannot do it. For example, everyone knows that staying up late is bad for health, but there are still many people who often stay up late to play games, play mobile phones, and chase dramas. For another example, some people have time to play mahjong, drink and brag with others, but do not have time to exercise. If we really know how to love ourselves, then we will try to avoid doing things that damage our health. Moreover, it is necessary to master some medical knowledge and health-preserving methods. Loving yourself not only means taking good care of your own body, but also managing your mental health and making yourself happy. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, if a person is in a long period of huge emotional fluctuations, then this person will get sick sooner or later. Some people lament that "good people don't live long". One of the reasons is that good people also have emotions. After being wronged or depressed, they usually hold back in their hearts. If they don't get rid of them in time, they will get sick over time. .
Therefore, when you are alive, don't let yourself be bound by rules. You must first learn to live happily and healthy, instead of trying to be a so-called "good person" in the eyes of others. Our parents and relatives often like to kidnap us under the slogan of being good for us, so that we can meet their wishes and wishes. In fact, they do this to love themselves, not us. Because truly loving someone is to allow the person's nature to be fully developed, so that he can live healthy, happy, and harmonious, instead of being pruned to meet other people's standards like a potted plant. We should see this clearly, we are the most important, respect our wishes, treat ourselves honestly, manage our physical and mental health, and fully tap and develop our potential on this basis. This is truly loving yourself, and this kind of life is truly happy.
With this foundation, even if we do nothing in our lives, what does it matter? In life, living health and happiness is the most important thing. I have said before that there is no correct way of life in this world. It's just that many people are bound by the custom, and many people drink too much inspirational chicken soup, causing them to live in the expectations of others throughout their lives, unable to face themselves honestly, and lack the courage to be themselves. The happiest life is to be able to live your life in the way you really like in your heart, not to cater to the public and conform to the values of most people. Loving yourself is the root of everything.
